Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version. Thanks Janio

I can't help you. I don't have a Mac - this does work very well with Windows Vista, 7 and, even, 8.

you should use xp. xp is the best option because it is tried-and-true. also, this is the best option, because parallels (the other option) cost zillions, and don't work as well. just remember to get good antivirus software (even free ones are ok), because now you are using windows :P

No Mac support without boot camp and/or parallels. I have run it using boot camp with no problems at all.

E. Marcucci, I was had a similar situation where I wanted to run real Windows applications. I originally purchased Parallels because I really like the graphic implementation however after 2 unexpected crashes I ended up returning it. The biggest problem I had with Parallels is they have horrid support. Honestly, the support is what really did me in. When I posted to the Parallels I never got a straight answer from a Parallel employee. I ended up sending a private message to one I found and he was helpful but it was a little late. Additionally, e-mail support was terrible and could never get a straight answer about how to return the product. I went with VMWare and have been happy. I was able to successfully use VMWare converter that converted my old Thinkpad laptop to a VMWare image and dump it on the Mac. It work with it every day. My company only support Windows operating system and never had any problem with the converted image. This is one opinion but the choice is yours. Parallels lost a customer with their lack of product support. Thanks

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid. I use Windows and I've never once used mac. But I believe it may work for all platforms.

I returned it because I'm running W7 with bootcamp on a MacBook Air and it did not work - don't know about Parallels.

I'm not sure either, because the system requirements are Windows XP, Vista Service Pack 2, and Windows 7. Doesn't mention anything about Mac OSx. You could try.

I have the same setup as you. Mac at home and PC at work. We use them on both systems.

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac. The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

I have installed this on an iMac with Parallels. I have been able to run my PC software.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

It does not work on the mac OS BUT you can get around that if you want to work on a mac. I bought parallels for Mac + Windows XP, which added a condsiderable expense to the already expensive scanner, but being a previously disorganized grad student, this scanner helped a lot. It was worth the money. If you use it this way, it will work just about as well as on a PC (I used it on a dell previously). Maybe if you upgrade to the new Mac OS, you'll be able to use bootcamp (which I believe is included) and then all you would need is a copy of windows to install.
